New Machines and the Wasted Life Lyrics

[Intro: Lindsay Haun]
Life is cruelty
Life is cruelty
We all feed on each other. Exploit each other in some way to survive
Life-life is cruelty

[Verse 1: Ron Underwood]
If you found the sun in me
Would you make me work until I died?
Would you count the times I laughed?
And then, would you count all the times I cried?

[Chorus 1: Ron Underwood]
New machines and the wasted life
New machines and the wasted life
New machines and the wasted life
New machines and the wasted life

[Post-Chorus: Lindsay Haun]
Life is cruelty
We all feed on each other. Exploit each other in some way to survive

[Verse 2: Ron Underwood]
If I found the sun in you
Would you use it just to get your way?
Would you use my broken back?
Would you break me every day?
If we found the sun in us
It would never be the same
We would never have to break
We would never feel such pain

[Chorus 2: Ron Underwood]
New machines and the wasted life
New machines and the wasted life, oh yeah
New machines and the wasted life
New machines and the wasted life

[Chorus 3: Ron Underwood]
New machines and the wasted life
New machines and the wasted life, oh yeah
New machines and the wasted life
New machines and the wasted life
